66 Days Later Frederick Mason USP Tucson #55487-056 PO Box 24550 Tucson, AZ 85734 The date is August 10th, 2016, 66 days after the incident on Memorial Day Weekend, Sunday, June 5th. I've chronicled various times after the incident in which I accused Officer D. Huffstuttler of discriminating against black inmates.

(666) Essay by, Frederick Radford 7/11/2016 One reason I chose to title this essay “666”, is because I’m thirty six years old and 36 = 3 / 6’s = 666. Even though I am a peace maker, I’ve been battling the beast for so long that it has literally put me in beast mode! Like I said, I’m thirty six years old, on this day and I thank God that death hasn’t conquered me yet. From my understanding, I feel like “life” is designed to-program-all of us into pawns. We live in a system that is designed to ...

A brand new beginning awaits us all By Darrell Sharpe, MA The windows here at the MCI Norfolk Prison-Security Housing unity extend from floor to ceiling, about eight feet high. They're only five inches wide-impossible for anyone to escape through, and the glass is clear. That surprised me. Most segregation units I've landed in have cell windows that are completely frosted over from the outside, making it impossible to look through them. But here at MCI Norfolk we have lots of beauti...

Analytical Thinking in College Football 
 Frederick Mason [ID] USP Tucson PO Box 24550 Tucson, AZ 85734 
 I have found that when it comes to writing, you have to have an analytical mind if you are going to be unbiased in what you are sharing. I have found that it is wise to take the extra effort to see both sides of the coin when it comes to writing on prison issues. This is important when it comes to writing about prison issues, because oftentimes, people get the idea that when inmates talk ...

Although my incarceration began in 1999, I had not received treatment of mental illness until 2007, after an attempted suicide.

Through my efforts, it is now easier for me to identify many of my character defects, which allows me to correct some defects. As a corollary of self-awareness, I can now recognize traits of my own maladaptive behaviors exhibited in others. Such recognition allows me to have empathy towards these persons. One of the most demonstrative behaviors I have...
